Sunday Brunch

I decided to do something special for Easter and make eggs benedict from scratch. I have never attempted to poach eggs, let alone make my own hollandaise sauce. I looked at several difference recipes and decided to use a Tyler Florence version I found on Food Network. I used whole wheat English muffins from Whole Foods and smoked salmon instead of Canadian bacon.

This recipe was a total success. I managed to get everything ready at the same time and not ruin the sauce. It was great! Even Van, who typically doesn't like egg dishes, thought it was good.

Sunny Day and Sweet Tea Vodka

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the wonderfulness that is Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka, I highly encourage you to check it out. In my personal opinion, the best way to drink Firefly is to make a spiked Arnold Palmer. Pour one part Firefly and one part lemonade over ice. Garnish lemon slices and enjoy! It is the perfect drink for any sunny afternoon and is my go-to drink for summer.

The Best Thing About DC in the Spring

The weather was absolutely gorgeous and so were the cherry blossoms. What a perfect way to spend my lunch.
